“We are ready for the situation, in particular, to stop transportation (gas. - RT ) through the Ukrainian territory,” RIA Novosti quotes Orzhel.
He explained that the country is ready, because at the moment there is "a record amount of gas in Ukrainian underground gas storage facilities that has been pumped to pass the heating season."
At the end of October, Sergey Pereloma, deputy head of the board of Naftogaz, said during a briefing that Ukraine was ready to go through the heating season, regardless of whether gas transit from Russia through Ukrainian territory continued.
